FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The instant disclosure relates to an electrical connector, and more particular to a USB electrical plug connector.

BACKGROUND

Generally, Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to the PC architecture with a focus on computer interface, consumer and productivity applications. The existing Universal Serial Bus (USB) interconnects have the attributes of plug-and-play and ease of use by end users. Now, as technology innovation marches forward, new kinds of devices, media formats and large inexpensive storage are converging. They require significantly more bus bandwidth to maintain the interactive experience that users have come to expect. In addition, the demand of a higher performance between the PC and the sophisticated peripheral is increasing. The transmission rate of USB 2.0 is insufficient. As a consequence, faster serial bus interfaces such as USB 3.1, are developed, which may provide a higher transmission rate, e.g., 10 Gbs, so as to satisfy the need of a variety devices.

The opening of the USB 3.1 connector is thin and small so as to be conformed with the specification of the product. Commonly, the USB interfaces are widely utilized for the interfaces of high frequency, radiofrequency, wireless, or Bluetooth emitters. Because of the high transmission rate of the USB 3.1 interface, the performance of the product having the USB 3.1 interface can be affected by either external electromagnetic interferences or internal signal crosstalk between terminals. Shielding elements are provided for the connector to address these issues; nevertheless, the difficulties in both the manufacture and the assembly of the connector are increased due to a great number of the pieces the connector has. In addition, the connector needs to have some openings so that fixtures can insert into the openings for positioning the connector. Hence, the structural strength of the connector would be reduced and further the defect free rate of the connector is. Upon a connector is damaged, not only the motherboard has to be detached from the connector for replacement, but also the connector itself has to be replaced. Therefore, the cost for the repair of the connector is expensive.

The insertion space S is extending from the insertion opening 17 toward an interior of the insulated housing 10, and the insertion cavity 15 is extending from the other end of the insulated housing 10 toward the interior of the insulated housing 10. The insertion cavity 15 is between the first assembling surface 11 and the second assembling surface 13. The cross sectional area of the insertion cavity 15 is less than the cross sectional area of the insertion opening 17. Furthermore, the insertion cavity 15 is extending to the two lateral surfaces of the insulated housing 10 and in communication with the insertion space S.

As shown in FIG. 3, each of the first terminals 20 comprises a first flexible contact portion 21 and a first tail portion 23 extending from one end of the first flexible contact portion 21. The first assembling surface 11 comprises a plurality of protrusions 113 and a plurality of hot-melt blocks 121 corresponding to the protrusions 113. Each of the hot-melt blocks 121 is disposed to one end of the corresponding protrusion 113. A plurality of grooves 115 is defined between the protrusions 113 for positioning the first terminals 20. When the first terminals 20 are disposed on an inner surface of the first assembling surface 11, the hot-melt blocks 121 are melt by heating to form the first hot-melt region 111 as shown in FIG. 2. A portion of each of the first terminals 20 is in the first hot-melt region 111 and positioned by the first hot-melt region 111. The first tail portions 13 are protruding from the insulated housing 10.

Each of the second terminals 20 comprises a second flexible contact portion 31 and a second tail portion 33 extending from one end of the second flexible contact portion 31. The profile of the second terminal 30 may be the same as the profile of the first terminal 20. Similar to the configuration of the first terminals 20, the second terminals 30 are disposed on and positioned with an inner surface of the second assembling surface 13, and the second terminals 13 are in a second hot-melt region 131 that is on the second assembling surface 13. The second tail portions 33 are protruding from the insulated housing 10, and the second tail portions 33 can be soldered with a circuit board by, e.g., SMT (surface mount technology), along with the first tail portions 23.

After the first terminals 20 are disposed to the first assembling surface 11 and the second terminals 30 are disposed to the second assembling surface 13, the shielding connection plate 40 is disposed in the insertion cavity 15, so that the two side arms 43 are respectively located on two ends of the insertion cavity 15. Before the assembly, the first assembling surface 11 comprises a first opening 119, the second assembling surface 13 comprises a second opening 139, and the shielding plate 41 comprises a third opening 415. After the assembly, the first opening 119, the second opening 139, and the third opening 415 are in communication with each other. During the inserting molding procedure, plastic materials or glues are delivered into the first opening 119, the second opening 139, and the third opening 415, so that the shielding plate 41 is molded and positioned with the insulated housing 10. In addition, the first terminals 20 and the second terminals 30 are molded and positioned with the insulated housing 10 to form an insertion module 2 as shown in FIG. 2.

Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the electrical plug connector 1 further comprises a first conductive sheet 50, a second conductive sheet 60, and an outer shell 70. The first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 60 are respectively held on an upper portion and a lower portion of the insulated housing 10 for shielding the first terminals 20 and the second terminals 30. The outer shell 70 is assembled out of the insulated housing 10 for providing further shielding. In addition, the outer shell 70 is a unitary member without assembling. Therefore, the connector can have simplified structure and can be manufactured and assembled conveniently.

In addition, the first conductive sheet 50 comprises a first contact portion 51, and the second conductive sheet 60 comprises a second contact portion 61. The first contact portion 51 and the second contact portion 60 are respectively in contact with the outer shell 70 to form a grounding loop.

The profile of the first conductive sheet 50 may be the same as that of the second conductive sheet 60. The first buckling piece 53 and the second buckling piece 63 are for buckling with an electrical receptacle connector when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with the electrical receptacle connector. The first baffle groove 55 and the second baffle groove 65 prevent the electrical receptacle connector from being impacted by the first conductive sheet 50 or the second conductive sheet 60 when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with the electrical receptacle connector. The first engaging piece 57 and the second engaging piece 67 allow the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 60 to be assembled with the insulated housing 10. For example, the first engaging piece 57 and the second engaging piece 67 may be respectively assembled with the engaging holes 117, 137 of the insulated housing 10. After the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 60 are assembled on the insulated housing 10, the first extension portion 59 and the second extension portion 69 can be provided for soldering. Therefore, the first conductive sheet 50 and the second conductive sheet 60 can be soldered with the outer shell 70 by laser soldering. Moreover, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a free end of the first contact portion 51 and a free end of the first extension portion 59 extend toward a same extending direction, and a free end of the second contact portion 61 and a free end of the second extension portion 69 extend toward a same extending direction.

The two side arms 43 are connected to two ends of the shielding plate 41 and in the insertion cavity 15. The side arms 43 are extending toward the insertion opening 17 for buckling with an electrical receptacle connector M when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with the electrical receptacle connector M.

Furthermore, the electrical plug connector 1 further comprises two soldering legs 47. The two soldering legs 47 are respectively connected to the two side arms 43. Each of the soldering legs 47 is extending from the corresponding side arm 43 along a direction away from the shielding plate 41 and protruding from the insulated housing 10. The soldering legs 47, the shielding plate 41, and the side arms 43 may be integrally formed with each other. Each of the soldering legs 47 comprises a soldering portion 471, and the soldering portion 471 may be angled with respect to an end portion of the corresponding soldering leg 47 for soldering with a circuit board. Moreover, each of the soldering legs 47 further comprises a contact bump 473. The contact bumps 473 are protruding outward and opposite to each other. After the outer shell 70 is assembled to the insulated housing 10, the contact bumps 473 are in contact with the outer shell 70 and form a grounding loop therebetween. For example, the contact bumps 473 may be engaged with an engaging opening 71 of the outer shell 70 for positioning. Moreover, in one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the soldering portions 471 are extending from the respective side arms 43 along a direction away from the respective elastic buckling portion 43, and the contact bumps 473 and the soldering portions 471 of the soldering legs 47 are respectively exposed from two sides of a rear portion of the insulated housing 2.

Please refer to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 illustrates a schematic view of one embodiment of the side arms 43 of the electrical plug connector 1. FIG. 6 illustrates an assembled schematic view of one embodiment of the electrical plug connector 1. As shown in FIG. 5, each of the side arms 43 comprises an elastic buckling portion 435. The elastic buckling portions 435 face each other for positioning the electrical receptacle connector M. In this embodiment, each of the elastic buckling portions 435 is a wavy shaped structure, and the wavy shaped structures have mirror symmetry. In other words, a first valley of a first wavy shaped structure correspond to a first valley of a second wavy shaped structure, a first peak of the first wavy shaped structure correspond to a first peak of the second wavy shaped structure, and so on. Moreover, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner wall of the outer shell 70 faces the peaks 435a and the valleys 435b of the wavy shaped structures.

As shown in FIG. 6, when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with an electrical receptacle connector M, the elastic buckling portions 435 buckle with the electrical receptacle connector M, so that the side arms 43 are deflected outward. In addition, portions of the elastic buckling portions 435 (e.g., the peaks 435a shown in FIG. 6) are in contact with an inner wall of the outer shell 70 to form a grounding loop; on the other hand, portions of the elastic buckling portions 435 (e.g., the valleys 435b shown in FIG. 6) are suspended. Accordingly, the elasticity of the side arms 435 can be retained, and the side arms 43 would not be bent or have elastic fatigue when the electrical plug connector 1 is inserted into the electrical receptacle connector M by an excessive insertion force. Moreover, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the peaks 435a of the wavy shaped structures are to be in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 70 in a point-contact manner. Additionally, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, a distance between the peaks 435a of the wavy shaped structures is greater than a distance between the valleys 435b of the wavy shaped structures.

Please refer to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG. 7 illustrates a schematic view of another embodiment of the side arms 43′ of the electrical plug connector 1. FIG. 8 illustrates an assembled schematic view of another embodiment of the electrical plug connector 1. As shown in FIG. 7, in another embodiment, the elastic buckling portion 435′ of the side arm 43 comprises a protruding portion 437. The protruding portion 437 has an inclined surface 437a. The two inclined surfaces 437a of the two side arms 43 form an inverse V shape with respect to an insertion direction of the insertion opening 17. Therefore, when the electrical receptacle connector M is mated with the electrical plug connector 1, the electrical receptacle connector M can be guided by the two side arms 43′, so that the electrical receptacle connector M can be mated with the electrical plug connector 1 properly. As shown in FIG. 8, when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with an electrical receptacle connector M, the protruding portions 437 buckle the electrical receptacle connector M, so that the side arms 43′ are deflected outward, and portions of the side arms 43′ are in contact with the inner wall of the outer shell 70 to form a grounding loop. Furthermore, the side arms 43′ further comprise a recess 439 near to a connecting portion between the side arm 43′ and the bridge portion 431′, and the recess 439 is located on the outer side of the side arms 43′. Therefore, when the electrical plug connector 1 is mated with an electrical receptacle connector M, portions of the elastic buckling portions 435′ are suspended, so that the elasticity of the side arms 43′ can be retained.

Based on the above, the shielding plate and the side arms can be assembled with the insertion cavity of the insulated housing. Therefore, the structure of the connector can be simplified, the structural strength of the connector can be improved, the complexity in manufacture and assembly can be reduced, and the defect-free rate of the connector can be improved. Moreover, conventional terminals may be utilized in the connector, therefore, the cost of the mold for the terminals can be saved, and the manufacture cost of the connector can be reduced as well. Furthermore, the connector can perform great electromagnetic shielding performance, and the electromagnetic interference and the signal crosstalk between terminals can be reduced even when the connector is provided for high frequency transmission.
